Leave me alone!”
I left them and walked away.

I put the charm back on Lily.
I kissed her head.
“Mommy, I love you!”
She hugged me.
I melted.
“I love you too, sweetie!”
“Guess I’m chopped liver.”
David stood at the door.
He laughed.
“Daddy!” Lily ran to him.
“I love you too, Daddy!”
I smiled.
“You’re home.”
David nodded.

“I love you too, Lily. But I love Mommy the
most.”
“It’s okay, I love Mommy most too!”
Lily clapped.
I squeezed Lily and put my head on David’s
chest.
I was worried.
For David and Lily, it was worth it.
Next day, Mark stopped me at school.
“Sarah, you say you don’t know me.
Let’s fix that.
I’m Mark.”
I frowned.
“Are you sick?”
“We had a misunderstanding.
I’m sorry.” He was serious.
<
“Misunderstanding?
What misunderstanding made your son push
me and you slap me?”
I thought it was a joke.
“Sorry…I’ll give you one back.”
He slapped himself.
“Sarah, I know you don’t remember.
I can tell you.
You’re my wife, Ryan’s mom.”
“Oh? What about Amy?
You two aren’t together?”
I smirked.
“Amy tricked us.
She’s a gold digger!
She abused Ryan and stole my money.
We were wrong

I need you.”
Mark hated Amy.
“Oh, yeah?
You need me to clean, cook, and take care of
Ryan?”
I laughed.
“Mark, you’re too much.
Your Amy left, so I’m good enough?
What happened in the past ten years?
You can’t call me wife or Mom.”
“You! You were faking it!”
Mark yelled.
“Sarah, you came back with me!”
